The original manuscript* of Sir WALTEE SCOTT'S

the executors of the late Mr. ROBEBT CADELL, of
Edinburgh. All these manuscripts are said to be
remarkable Dor the extraordinary fluency with
which they were written, and the very few correc?

lng* a proof of Sir WALTES SCOTT'S wonderful fa?
cility of composition. The manuscripts are stated
to bo all in a -perfect state? of preservation and
uniformly bound in Russia, with uncut edges. I
A Massachusetts paper describes an entirely new

space. Indeed, the whole mill only occupies a
ground space of ten feet eight inches by four feet, I
exclusive of the oars for carrying the logs, and yet
it is calculated to carry forty or fifty saws.

The new. order of the "Star of India" is not very
popular am ob g the officers of the Indian ser rico. I

The Prussian Government, it seems, does not
respect the freedom of the press any more than I -
some other neighboring governments. In Frank

thorities, who, apparently, cannot bear even fae I}
mildest and most indira^criticism. A Eonigsberg I .
Journal has been seizro for merely printing s 11
speech by one of the parliamentary deputies, and 11
a Berlin newspaper bas shared the same fate for 11

Prussia. . y
The latest mail dates received from China are I '
_ up to the 15th of April, and the year of the tea- M
men, ending with the first of June, now being near 11
ita close, some approximate conclusions as to the I *
year's crop can be drawn. The tea season, though 11
much prolonged beyond the ordinary time, was 1'
practically over at the date of our correspondent's I
letter-bpt there still remained on hand small 1
stocke of the old crop, while in previous years the
market has often been swept clean of old teas at
a much earlier time. The receipts of the crop of
1866-67, and the exports both to Great Britain and 1
the United States have been in excess of those for I '
1865-66, and the stocks remaining on hand are j
generally larger than at tho same time last year, j
The lost census of Prussia was taken in 1SGL '
At that time there were, in round numbers, 19,-1
350,000 inhabitants, or 768,000 more than in 1861.
Of these IL, 700,000 were Protestants (being 438,000
moro than in 1861), and 7,200,000 Catholics (being
an increase of 294,000); in other words, the in?
crease among Protestants was 3.38 per cent, and
among Catholics 4.45 per cent. In the year 1864 j
there' were 479,000 births among the Protestants, I '
while there were 302,500 among Catholics, in spite
of their being 6706 priests ?devoted to celibacy.
And 5259 religious of loth sexes. Further, out of I ;
the 479,000 births among Protestants, 47,960 were
illegitimate; while out of the 302,500 birth&emong
Catholics, only 16,500- were illegitimate. This
great difference is maintained through the differ?
ent provinces.
The ram Stonewall, now called the Japan, will I

Wednesday after a short absence North. The Jap?
anese purchased th J Stonewall for $450,000. There
have been two payments made, tho third and final

At Fort Pillow and Randolph every evidence of i
war has disappeared, swallowed up by tho great 11
river. Earthworks at Randolph, built in 1861, a
three hundred yards from the shore, have gone to t
the Balizo. At both these places the river cur- f
rent, as here at Memphis, strikes the shore almost t
at right angles. A city paper tells us how a i
planter, within the week, deposited $6900 worth of c
supplies upon the river bank somewhere in Ar- 1
kansas. He had not gone half a mile when the r
country behind him disappeared with all the a
stores. Beedoot Lake is fathomless. It is not for cl
from the river. The night before the earthquake 1<
of 1812, lofty trees stood where deep, silent etil' a
waters now have unbroken reposa. Cypress trees t
two hundred feet high went down. Their loftiest

CURRENT TOPICS.
THE Lomon TIMES asserts, on tho autl
of tho Board of Trade, that tho computed
value of tho merchandise imported into the U
Kingdom from foreign countries in tho first
ter of the present year was ?41,530,023, ns ns
?47,229,002 in the first quarter of I860; and

France declined from ?10,123,929 to ?7,803,1
that quarter; but this last amount was mo
nearly ?1,800,000 than that of tho first quarl
1865; the diminution in tho impcrt of grain
Franco has been marked this year, amounti
the quartor to moro thin ?1,200,000 for n
wheatmeal and flour. The decline in the im

duo to the trade with ludia, the import of c
thence in the first quarter having fallen lc
third of the quantity imported in the first qi:
of 1806, and the value from ?3,215,313 to ?00
the entire imports from India falling from ?1

British possessions, ?10,718,256 in 1866,

by their flashing eyes and approving smiles that

THE LONDON TIMES gives tho following statisti?
cal history of recent English htigation: "In thc
last oight years-1859-66-0,441,181 plainta havo
been entered in the County Courts of England,
showing an average of 805,147 a year. 3,470,369
canses have beon determined or judgments given
a fair amount of work for even sixty judges to
look back upon; the averago is 433,790 a year.
127,864 warrants of commitment have been is?
sued-25,983 a year. 63,03J debtors havo been im?
prisoned-7878 upon an average. 1,003,006 execu?
tions have been issued against goods-125,383 a
year; and 32,753 sales made-4094 a year. lu 1806
the numbers under all these hoads wore above tho
averago, except those two which express the ac?
tual execution of the final process of tho law; tho
number of debtors imprisoned being only 7601,
and the number of sales of goods only 3828. Tho
number of debtors imprisoned has declined con?
siderably since a change was made in 1804 by
stating clearly upon the warrant that tho debtor
could obtain his discharge on paying tho instal?
ments actually due; it had boen commonly sup?
posed that ho must pay all tho instalments beforo
being discharged. In 1863 tho number of persons
imprisoned was ouo to every ninety-three sue 1; in
1866 only one to every 115 sued.
AT PRESENT a careful watch ia kopt over thc
Health of thc London police. Oificial tables show
that the total number disabled by injury in tho
last five months was 370; by disease, tho result of
exposure, 1039, and this latter class is conipara
;ively larger in the police than in tho army. Tho
nain o^fference between the civil and military Ber?
rico is tho prevalence of venereal disease in sol
hers, and its almost cntiro absenco in thc police,
lone of whom wer J placed on thc sick list during
he latter half of 1866 from this cause. Dyspepsia
ind soreness of the feet aro two common aflec
jons. Nineteen deaths occurred in five months,

ter from the chrome viscoral discaso that would

?t divisions vary in regard to healthiness. Thc

JOB WORK.-We have now completed our

time, ALL KINDS OF JOB WORK, and we

THE UNION REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Convention held in Columbia last week,
view it in what light we may, was a failure.
Whether we consider it as an adjourned meet?
ing of the Convention held in this city several
months ago, or as a new and independent or?
ganization, the conclusion wo arrive at is still
the same-it was a grand failure. The few
individuals, who were chiefly instrumental in
getting it up, had taken great pains to impress
us, and, we presume, other outsiders also, that
this Convention would be a grand affair, that
there would be a general representation from
every part of the State, and that some of the first
men in the State would bo among its members.
Now this was notoriously not the case. Had
the originators of this Convention been special?
ly bent on defeating its main purpose, viz:
that of thoroughly organizing the Republican
party in the State, they could not have'accom?
plished it more successfully than appears to
have been done by these same organizers.
1. Thcro were many districts of thc State
not represented.
2. Th? delegates from districts that were
represented, in nearly every instance, were
either strangers, not identified with the in?
terests ofthc people, black or white, they
claimed to represent, or else they were obscure
persons without standing, position, or influence
in their community ; without wealth or other
stake in society, and most generally devoid
also of education or intelligence: therefore,
.in no sense of the word representing the pop?
ple of the State.
3. The colored element largely preponder?
ated over the white, and thc foreign over the
native ; thus, from the very nature of its con
u
I stituent elements, calculated to awaken sus?
picion rather than to win the confidence
of those inclined to co-operate with a
moderately progressive party, and confirming
and strengthening the opposition of those who
have looked with distrust on the entire pro?
gramme of Congressional Reconstruction.
4. The tendency, all through its delibera?
tions, was to adopt a creed of thc most ultra
Radical stripe, repelling rather than attract?
ing those who were still hesitating and doubt?
ing as to the propriety of connecting them?
selves with the Republican party.
G. Thc debates were not marked with that
courtesy which we, in these Southern latitudes
at least, are in the habit of observing. They
not unfrequently offended against decorum,
and were throughout of a character, calculated
to impress very unfavorably the unbiassed
outside spectator.
6. Thc presiding officer-if the proceedings
of the Convention have been correctly "re?
port c J-was altogether unqualified l'or a proper
discharge of thc duties of his post. His ignor?
ance of parliamentary rules wc could pardon,
but not his total want of courtes}- which mani?
fested itself eo frequently in opprobrious
epithets, such as branding every one a "Judas,"
who ventured to express a dissenting opinion
from the views entertained by thc chair.
"Judasism" is a new word, a contribution to
the language, which future lexicographers will
credit to Mr. Oleaves. Why did the Conven?
tion so invariably submit to the arbitrary de?
cisions of the chair? Why did they permit
him to make speeches and discuss questions?
Why did they suffer the billingsgate, always at
his tongue's end ? Because-we can arrive at
no other conclusion-the men who composed
this Convention were altogether incompetent
for the positions in which accident, not per?
sonal merit, had placed them.
Thi9 was keenly felt, wo have every reason
to believe, by a few of the men who found
themselves in such unwonted company ; Mr.
B. 0. DUNCAN, of Newberry, for instance,
whose letter will be found in thc proceedings
of Friday, published on our first page this
morning. After what we have seen of the
nature and character of this Convention, we
have a right to conclude that it was a pres?
cience of what would be the result, (from what
they knew-of thc men who had thc matter in
hand), that kept others, known to bc in sym?
pathy with the Republican party, from going
into thc Convention. Upon no other reason
can we satisfactorily account for thc absence
of men like Postmaster STANLY 0. TROTT, Col?
lector A. G. MACKEY, Internal Revenue Col?
lector F. A. SAWYER, Treasurer ELISHA GEL?
DINGS, Hon. C. W. DUDLEY, L. BOOZER, Esq.,
and many others, both natives and Northern
men, resident among us, and enjoying the
respect of their fellow-citizens. Their absence
is not sufficiently accounted for by thc possi?
ble pica that their official duties prevented
their attendance, for if such were thc case,
they could still have manifested their sym?
pathy with thc Convention through letters,
which would certainly have been made known.
No, these gentlemen have shown by their
course that they had little confidence in thc
present organization of the party in this State,
and thc proceedings of the Convention have
fully justified their caution.
Look at the plut form, adopted hy this t'on?
vention. To the three first sections we have
no objections. Thc fourth, however, is radical,
revolutionary and agrarian-although care?
fully concealed under a specious form of words,
it means neither more nor less than confisca?
tion. "Mild confiscation," it is called by some,
who. with, a euphemism, think to sugar thc pill.
This "mild confiscation," when we come to ex?
amine closely into its moaning, is the taking of
property from its rightful owners, lt is called
"mild," we prcstime, because it only proposes
to take from those who haven superabundance,
lu other words, we are to consider it "mild,"
because thc Government docs not propose to
substitute several millions of white paupers fur
thc present number of colored "wards." This
section was too much for Mr. DUNCAN, and
could not have been adopted, had lhere been
anything like a fair representation of either
the white or colored pc >plc of (he State. Take
Charleston for instance. Look at her delega?
tion: J. P. M. Kpping. G. Pillsbury, B. W. M.
Mackey, C. C. Bowen, Vf. J. McKinlay, James
D. Price, and lt. C. DeLarge. What, proportion of
thc white people of Charleston are represented
by Messrs. lipping, Pillsbury, Mackey and
Bowen? And what percentage of the 20,000
colored people of this city have had n voice or
igency in sending W. J. McKinlay, Janies D.
['rice or R. C. DeLarge to represent their in
: crests in that solemn conclave at Columbia?
iVe have many colored people herc of property,
ntelligcncc, education and influence. They
lid not go into thc Convention, and appear to
lave no sympathy with it, with ifs members, or
vith its actions and proceedings.
But to continue with Hie platform. Wc Oo
not object to sections 5 ami 'j, relating to a re?
vision of the code auJ an ad valorem taxation.
Section 7 breathes thc true ultra radical spirit
-democracy run wild-which, if carried out,
must keep thc country in constant turmoil and
Excitement. All officers whatsoever to be voted
tor directly by tlie people: "to hold their
respective office?, not for two years, but for one
year;"' i. e. thc people arc to vote every year for
a new Governor and Council, Senators and Hep
?esontfitives of the State Legislature, and all
subordinate officers, except those of the Judi?
ciary Department. With thc large addition to
the voting population, created by the recent
legislation of Congress, such a modification of
our Constitution, would, in our opinion, be fatal
to the poace and well-being of society. There
are other sections of this platform, which we
cannot endorse, but it is unnecessary to discuss
(hem here. .
As proof of thc radical, and altogether im?
practicable character of this Convention, wc
would further refer to the resolutions, intro?
duced by Mr. Wright (a colored lawyer), de?
manding that the colored clement shall be rep?
resented by one of its own race on the next
Presidential ticket of the Republican party.
Arc not our colored brethren going n little too
fast? Why is it, that they are entitled to the
office, next to the highest, within thc gift of the
American people? Because they have been
liberated from serfdom ? Are they not this day
the wards, thc beneficiaries of the nation ? Are
they not, hundreds of thousands of them, in re?
ceipt of eleemosynary support from the
Anfericrn people, the whitepeople of this coun?
try? And nre not paupers almost everywhere
debarred from a voice in the affairs of the
State ? This much, en pasxanl, on Mr. Wright's
resolutions.
The resolution of Mr. L. S. Langley
(colored), in our opinion was in bad taste, and
altogether uncalled for: "Resolved, that in thc
opinion of this Convention, some of the regis?
ters appointed by order of the General com?
manding this Military District, do not enjoy
the confidence of thc body of voters in some of
their respective districts." This resolution, it
is understood, was especially aimed at. Nash
and Edwards of Columbia, two colored men
who are thought to bc tainted with white pro?
clivities. It is. therefore, the colored voters,
who, if any, are disposed to withhold their
confidence from theso registers. As Nash and
Edwards are colored men themselves, it is
reasonable to infer that there are others of their
race, who think with them, and were therefore
not represented by Mr. Langley. Moreover,
in advance of the registration, it is assuming
rather too much to ignore thc whole body of |
white voters in Richland District, (who, it may
be, will outnumber tho black vote), and
oracularly to "resolve" that some of thc rcgis
tcrs.do not enjoy thc confidence of "the body
of thc voters," etc. lt may turn out that this
self-styled "body" is merely one of the body's
members, and not the most honored, either.
But enough of the Convention. Wc think we
have said sufficient to show that it was a fail?
ure; that, in no sense can it be held to have
represented the people of South Carolina, either
black or white; and that so far from furthering
tho interests of the Republican party in this
State, it has done much to retard its progress.
Our opinion on the principal question nt is?
sue is unchanged. We have accepted the
situation, and now, as heretofore, advocate an
entire, and unreserved compliance with tho
conditions, set forth in thc several Reconstruc?
tion Acts. In this course wc know we have thc
sympathy and co-operation of many of thc best
people in the State; and although there is at
present no party organization, in efficient
operation for un active propagation and dis?
semination of these views, wc hope the day is
not far distant when this reproach cannot bc
brought against us; and, fl ii.s consummation,
we think, will be brought about largely through
the instrumentality of the late Convention, and
the vagaries its members were guilty of.

Gili, ns a Remedial Agent.
GIN, AS A REMEDIAL AGENT, HAS BEEN TN FA?
VOR with the profession for a very long period, but
owing to thc difficulty of obtaining a pure article, it has
fallen into disuse in many sections of tho country, much
to the regret of medical men, who consider it almost a
sped tlc in very many diseases. For all cases ot Gravel,
pure Gin, if administered under professional guidance,
will certainly work a cure; and if taken as a preventive,
acting, as it doc-, on the sensitive membranes, lt cleanses
the ports so as to remove all possible sediment. Admin?
istered in the same way, it will preveut the formation of
Calculi, and do away with those terrible operations,
therefore, so necessary for their permanent removal.
Oin is of incalculable neuem to females in those diseases
so peculiar to the sex, and from its tonic, aa wcU as it?
anodyne properties, it is frequently superior to iron,
bark, or even thc electrical remedies. lu cast's of a posi?
tive tendency to Phthisis, or Consumption, Gin, in proper
quantities, by supplying or niling up the constant dying
out of the natural lire of the system, will often entirely
ward off that awful disease, which carries off one-eighth
of the population of tho United States annually. Puro
Oin has this peculiar advantage over other diffusible
stimuli, that it exhilarates without creating any thirst of
an un h wilt by character, it soothes while it also excites,
and is a powerful nervine as well as an active tonic.
"BIN IN GER'S OLD LONDON DOCK GIN
possesed all thc qualities that can be desired for the high?
est and noblest usc of oil wines or liquors. Its ingre?
dients arc thc distilled juices of carefully selected groins,
made delicately pungent and fiavorous v. uh the aromatic
tincture of thc Jumper Berry. Age has mellowed all
